Gibson was 100% correct. I saw this specific segment of "My Word" and it was right on target.
I would get the weather from the BBC, let alone "hard news".
Censured? Haha.
Ofcom received "over 20 complaints" and then censured Fox? Over 20? Oh, the humanity!!
Who the hell is Ofcom, anyway?
I believe John Gibson.
Wow BBC is entitled to their opinion but Fox News is not. The bias that states: the "Iraq military is heroically repulsing an incompetent American military," is frothing at the mouth anti-Americanism.
LOLOL.....oh how the left hates the truth!
I really like John Gibson, and his program.
I have no idea who Ofcom is and I don't care. Has Ofcom ever censured CNN?
And, good morning! ;-D
Auntie sure has changed since dubya-dubya-two.
"The strength of Gibson's comments, made in a regular Fox News slot entitled My Word in which a presenter offers a personal take on the events..."
"remember it was the Beeb caught lying."
And CNN, the boston globe, the NY and LA times, etc, etc, etc.........
This from the Guardian, the beacon of journalistic integrity.
Fascism at work.
Gee...I wonder if they censured their own Navy for similar views.
From Richard Hargreaves, of The News, Portsmouth - on board HMS Ark Royal
MILITARY leaders have axed the BBC from the nation's flagship amid claims of pro-Iraqi bias. The Navy has taken rolling news show News 24 off the air on the HMS Ark Royal after weeks of grumbling from crew.
Sailors on the Portsmouth-based aircraft carrier have become increasingly disenchanted with the BBC's slant on the war. They claim the news organisation places more faith in Iraqi reports than information coming from British or Allied sources.
"The BBC always takes the Iraqis' side," one senior rating complained.
"It reports what they say as gospel but when it comes to us it questions and doubts everything the British and Americans are reporting.
"A lot of people on board are very unhappy." Ark is one of a handful of task force ships which receives live TV direct from Britain with rolling news and two entertainment channels beamed into the warship as part of efforts to improve creature comforts.
But officers and ratings alike are angry at the Beeb's coverage of the war so far. A BBC correspondent has been on board the flagship - and the crew have no gripe with his reports - but they were particularly incensed by comments made by presenters and commentators about the carrier's Sea King tragedy a fortnight ago.
Then the BBC suggested poor levels of maintenance played a hand in the deaths of seven fliers...."
The day FoxNews gets "CENSURED" will be the first day of a new Revoultion of Independence.
Pray for W and The Truth
A good morning it is, dear Lady....(grin)
Of course they don't say anything about CNN. If they did, they'd be raising hell over CNN's admission last year they turned a blind eye to what Saddam and Son's was perpetrating on the Iraqi people.....the mass graves, the ongoing torture, rape rooms, feeding living humans into plastic shredders, etc etc etc.
More humans have died because of this kind of mentality than of anything nature could conceive.
"Even taking into account that this was a 'personal view' item, the strength and number of allegations that John Gibson made against the BBC meant that Fox News should have offered the BBC an opportunity to respond."
After all the lies that were told about the U.S military or the british military did the bbc ever allow either of them time on the air to defend themselves?
